Um, like, WHOA.
I have a great liking for gas station "cappuccino" - you know, the kind that comes from the machine when you press (and hold!) that magic button?
They tasty, sweet and deliciously affordable.
I've never really known the calorie count or anything, mainly because I couldn't find it online, but today, as I drank one purchased I decided to really hunt it down. OH. MY. WORD.
We are talking between 200 and 500 calories for a 16 ounce!
Why can't my lovely gas station fuel be unleaded? Instead, we're talking premium diet-buster here!
Now, as I stare at my cup o' goodness, I see sinister foam rather than friendly. I have only eaten a banana today and was looking forward to some yogurt as my mid-morning snack. French Vanilla yumminess or Cherries Jubilee? Oh the decisions!
Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power, I guess.

I drank half of it and threw the rest away ... seriously, that was A LOT of sugar!
ReplyDeleteI guess a week of drinking my coffee sans sugar has already changed my tastes. Weird. Ok ... off to get more water!
